This was worn for a winter event so I wanted to do some different and pair the strapless dress with a collared shirt. I got so many compliments and felt confident in meeting my husbands co workers.  

It was tight -- I had to go way up on my normal size, because the bodice was so tight. Was also hard for someone with a bigger chest. 

Ok, I loved this dress!! However, the 0R was the size I needed, but the zipper was damaged on arrival. It would not stay up. So, I wore the 2R, which worked, but I had to pull it up most of the evening. It still looked great and I had TONS of compliments on this! It really stood out.
Definitely recommend! 

Fits bust very well... tulle in the back kept getting caught in my heels.

The 4 was too tight but the 6 fit perfectly. 

I fell in love with this dress for a pirate themed Mardi Gras ball. It definitely runs very small, I usually fit comfortably into a size 2 but this size 4 was quite tight in the chest and hip area. That being said I had an incredible night dancing in it and received compliments galore. It was just nice to breathe again when I took it off. 

This dress was elegant and pretty much as shown. The silk top and toile bottom was beautiful together. It is also fitted at the waist so the dress stays up well. Is however tight in top and bodice for this reason.

Wore this for the Younique Convention and it was a total hit! I received so many compliments. I ordered the 4R with the 6R as the backup and thankfully so. I ended up wearing the 6R because I could breathe better in it. Felt like a Princess all night long!

I was so excited when I pulled this dress out.  I put it on, zipped it up, then started to try and wiggle the dress into place.  The top fit perfectly.  As you can see in the picture, the bottom part of the dress didn't fit at all! It's like it couldn't settle in, and it bunched up and down in the back.  I don't know if it needed some serious steaming or what.  This is the 6 in the photo and I am definitely pear shaped so maybe that was the problem!

This is a beautiful dress! I loved all the layers. It does run small. I felt like a princess!!!

I wore this flirty number for my birthday night out on the town.  I paired it with the Helmut Lang tuxedo blazer to  add masculinity to a very feminine  dress. Overall, I was happy with the look.

Some things to note - 
I thought the dress ran small. In all my other rentals, I have worn a size zero, or zero petite. This dress, I wore the 2R. The bodice felt fine (I'm a size 32B), but the inner skirt was tight around my hips. 
 It would probably work best on someone who was straight and narrow. 
Also, I would recommend hanging it up for the night, and steaming it if possible before wearing. The tulle is very wrinkled upon arrival. 

All in all, it was a fun way to celebrate my birthday.

Dress runs really small. It is also somewhat constricting on the top portion of the dress. I had to wear my jacket to dance at the wedding to avoid coming out of it.

very fitted corset bodice, tight to the ribs.
skirt is messy but so much fun!

I have to admit, when I first tried it on I thought the uneven stitch on the waistline was an error so at first I was upset. Then I went back and looked at the picture of the model and it is meant to be there. Once I let that go, I loved the dress! I was the only one in that style when everyone wore short body-cons or sequins. I got several compliments and felt stunning in the fairytale dress. 

The dress definitely runs small so size up at least one size. I am 5'7 and wore 4 inch heels and the regular length was plenty long enough. Make sure you have time to leave the dress hanging overnight and separate the tulle for a fuller and nicer look. Great dress for a formal event! 

Fit: I'm 5'2" on a good day, 36D chest, and normally wear a solid size 6 pants.  The size 8 I ordered definitely wasn't zipping up past the ladies, so the size 10 it was! It was a little big in the chest, but I used double sided fashion tape to help keep it up.  I wish the bodice hadn't bunched up so easily, but I'm short, so ya know, that happens.  
Overall: Uh, yeah, I LOVED this dress! SO SO MUCH!  I got compliments all night on it, including being told it was the right amount of boob.  And anybody with big boobs knows how much that means!  I paired it with sequined high-top sneakers which kept it from being *too* fancy and more flirty/fun...but with just sneakers on it was a little long at the back; nothing horrible...it may have been a problem if I was up dancing all night, but it was a company holiday party, so just talking/mingling (in which case I gathered the bottom) or sitting to eat.  Bonus: You can wear regular underwear and not have to worry about lines!  Woo!  After a full night of wearing it I suppose the boning in the bodice was a little uncomfortable, but I didn't notice until I was home and done for the evening.  I wish I could wear it for every event EVER!

Loved this dress, the top is a bit snug but I was still able to fit in my size. 

My first RTR rental and other than having a major delay in shipping and finally getting the dress delivered about an hour before the event, this dress was truly worth the near panic attack it caused me.  It was exactly what I had expected.  I got several compliments throughout the night and didn't want to take it off at the end of the night.  Many reviews from others stated that it runs small, so I sized up, however I feel like it ran pretty true to size.  Perhaps if you are more busty, this is the case.  

I feel it ran true to size. It honestly could have been a little tighter in the bust, I'm a 34E and I kept having to pull it up. Was a little long in the back, I'm 5'0" so it was to be expected, and my heels got caught on the dress a few times but not too much of a bother. Overall great dress, wish I could wear it again! 

The fit was great.  The dress was comfortable and beautiful. It runs small so order up for the back up size. 

The reviews said it ran small, so I ordered a 10, when I would normally wear an 8. I thought it was a little too big, should have gone with the 8. It was longer than the picture and more tule, but that is what I loved about it! I didn't want to send it back! It was comfortable and beautiful.

This dress was so elegant and versatile for me working and attending our Chamber Gala.  So lightweight and feeling of a princess and not overdressed. Perfect!

This dress is truly beautiful. As soon as I put it on, I felt like a princess. Love it! 

Other descriptions said it ran small, so I ordered a size up from what I normally wear. It was a little big, but nothing two bras couldn't fix. I'm small chested, so I'm sure if I was a bit bigger there, it would have fit perfectly.

It runs kinda small I am usually a 10 - 12 and the 12 fit me pretty snug ... it looked great even with my curves but the top was very tight...  the train was long so I would recommend higher heels if possible... it was such a fun dress to wear .. 

After searching and searching online, I decided to  CALL Rent The Runway because I needed to be really sure. Tecianna R. "answered" my call. And Like a BOSS BITCH, she made it happen for me. I was the BELL of the ball! Thank you Tecianna R.! Delivery AND Return shipping was exactly what Tecianna said, FREE. OMG. I cant wait the rent another dress.

Absolutely loved this dress! The top was very fitted, but flattering. Consider sizing up if you are well endowed. 

I was nervous at first to get a size 2, because I have a larger chest (32DD), so I ordered both the 2R and 4R. Yet, when the dresses came I saw that the 2R, while some might find it tight, was perfect for me because it fit very snug and I didn't have to wear a bra with it. It wasn't extremely tight for me at all, but did stay up the whole night. I rarely had to tug it up, like I do with most strapless dresses. I would definitely recommend!! It makes any girl feel like a princess for the night with its beautiful flowing tulle!

This dress was gorgeous and I received so many compliments throughout the night. I am glad that I read other reviews and chose a size up, though! The corset was pretty tight. 

Wore this to a charity event. I absolutely loved it! It's comfy and light weight! I received so many compliments! It does run small so size up at least 1 maybe 2 sizes. 

I wore this as my witch costume for Halloween - I got so many compliments on the dress...It fit great, with some looseness around the chest (I'm a 36 D, so smaller chested girls might want to size down if possible!) 

This was by far my favorite dress to wear! I am so upset that I didn't get any pictures of the night and that I'm stuck with the photo you see here - many cocktails in at the end of dancing the night away. It just doesn't do it justice. The fit was perfect. The cut of the dress is amazing and hides any bit of flaws - mine being a post-baby belly that just won't go away. I didn't have to wear a bra, which was amazing because having to tug at a strapless all night is the worst. The puffy skirt part was perfect for dancing and while it was a bit tight, it was never uncomfortable. The only thing negative I have to say is that he wire on the side of the corset was poking out at the top and my underarm ended up getting a small cut. However, that would not stop me from wearing this over and over and over again! Do not miss out on this rental!!!

Other than returning and having to get a bigger size, I LOVED it!!! I had people tell me I looked like a movie star!

The dress was a bit tight, but thats what I look for in a strapless gown. I absolutely love this dress and I really wish I owned it. It is so simple and so flattering (as in I ate a three course dinner and still felt itty bitty in this dress). I cannot recommend it enough. I honestly might rent it again for another event (Photo - I am on the far left). 

Loved wearing this! It is so pretty and comfortable, and fetched many compliments throughout the evening. Who doesn't love a tutu?? Just be sure you have a way of getting it steamed out before you wear it, as it will likely arrive very wrinkled. It does run a bit small, and there is no stretch in the top (may not be a great choice for larger busted ladies) -- maybe consider going up a size. 

This dress was SO much fun! Received so many compliments. After reading the reviews, I decided to order my normal size 6, and the 8R for back up. I ended up wearing the 8, and it fit like a glove! I didn't feel like the bodice was too tight, like others suggested, however I'm not super busty. I wore a 3 inch heel and the back tulle just skimmed the floor. However, I will say, shoes with any type of texture might not be the best, as the bottom kept catching on my pump. You could tell this was pretty common as the bottom of the dress definitely looked more worn than the rest of the gown! Overall,  beautiful, fun and certainly one of a kind!!! 

This dress is gorgeous!  I wore this to a semi formal wedding, the dress is true to size, it is beautiful, I got tons of compliments all night.!

Loved this dress!! Super fun!! Tight on the top but not uncomfortable.  My only concern was how easily I would get tripped up on the tulle, but it made my dances moves look better!! Awesome dress 

I received so many compliments on this dress!  I was mostly comfortable in the dress all night - there is no give in the liner, so I wore the larger size just to be comfortable.
